Natasha Kuziutina submitted RENA with a guillotine choke at 3:14 of Round 2 at Super RIZIN 5 on Thursday in Osaka. The women’s super atomweight result came before A.J. McKee challenged Razhabali Shaidulloev in the double-title main event. The 49-kilogram bout took place at Kyocera Dome Osaka. Kuziutina entered as a 2016 Olympic judo bronze medalist and former interim LFA strawweight champion, giving RENA a direct test against one of the division’s strongest clinch and grappling specialists. Watch the official fight highlights below: Kuziutina Turned Clinch Control Into The Finish RENA opened from range with a left hook and low kicks, trying to establish the striking exchanges before Kuziutina could secure contact. Kuziutina closed the distance, drove knees from the clinch and forced the action toward the ropes. Once the fight hit the mat, Kuziutina controlled the position and made RENA work through the final stretch of Round 1. RENA survived the opening five minutes, but the same grappling pressure followed her into the second round. Kuziutina returned to the clinch and ground exchanges before locking the guillotine. RENA tapped at 3:14, giving Kuziutina her second consecutive RIZIN submission win after she armbarred Ayaka Hamasaki with five seconds left in the first round at RIZIN Landmark 13 in April. The Submission Extended Kuziutina’s RIZIN Streak The finish adds another major women’s result to a promotion that recently saw Shoko Sato beat Patchy Mix at RIZIN 54. Kuziutina’s back-to-back submissions now place her at the front of the vacant super atomweight title picture. The result also arrived on a card where RIZIN’s rulebook remained part of the story. Sakakibara had criticized unified MMA rules before Super RIZIN 5, but this bout used the promotion’s standard MMA format and ended through Kuziutina’s strongest discipline.
